Yamato YF-21 1/72 - Screw Hole Plastic Caps

[shiyao]

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd get some feedback on what people think about the plastic caps covering the screw holes on the Yamato YF-21 (both FP and no-FP versions).

I've lost one already and many of the others seem ready to pop out at any time. If anyone out there has faced the same issue, do let me know how you've dealt with it!

Cheers,

Shiyao

ps. here's a pic for illustration (from MW):

my FP is missing one. I bought it off Ebay and it never had it on there to my knowedge. I just keep the fast packs on now, hopefully it'll catch anything that pops off.

[do not disturb]

if those pop off i usually assume its going to happen again so i just leave them off and toss them into the box so i don't lose them.

[shiyao]

you know, i have this suspicion that the one i lost was never there in the first place. it's a pretty big one (same as you jenius, the one that can be hidden by the Fastpacks), and i'm pretty sure i would've noticed if it popped off. was yours on the left or right side (with the nose being the front)?

[jenius]

with the nose facing me the one on the left is missing.

[shiyao]

same! maybe it was a particular shipment of YF-21s ....
